Use of Electronic Commerce (EC)/Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) to support Department of Defense (DoD) procurement processes has been under consideration for some time. A 1988 Deputy Secretary of Defense memo calls for maximum use of EDI, based on 10 years of DoD EDI investigation and experiments. In 1990, Defense Management Review Decision 941 stated, 'The strategic goal of DoD's current efforts is to provide the department with the capability to initiate, conduct, and maintain its external business related transactions and internal logistics, contracting, and financial activities without requiring the use of hard copy media.' The EC in Contracting PAT membership reflected a broad cross section of Military Services and Defense Agencies working on a full-time basis for 60 days. The diversity of the EC in Contracting PAT ensured that the needs and concerns of all DoD components were addressed during the creation of the report. The resultant plan, therefore, represents a comprehensive approach for implementing EC throughout the DoD.

There have been many technological innovations in recent years that have paved the way toward bringing to the business environment a capability that will effectively eliminate, over time, the need to either create or accommodate paper transactions as a standard practice of conducting business. With downsizing and shrinking budgets, the Army and DoD are placing major emphasis into new cost and resource saving efforts - Electronic Commerce (EC) through Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a necessity for a all Of DoD's service level small computer acquisition programs. This paper examines this new technology with an objective of analyzing the feasibility of implementing EC/EDI in the current Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract delivery order business process in the Army's Small Computer Program. It provides a non- technical overview on the subject, a look at the DoD EC/EDI infrastructure, an overview on the Small Computer Program, and lastly a Small Computer Program EC/ EDI implementation strategy including a cost/benefit analysis.
